Ziggs vs Viktor

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Ziggs should leverage his high lane pressure and waveclear to deny Viktor's scaling and force him into defensive farming.
Maintain long-range poke and avoid giving Viktor safe space to place his delayed Viktor W for zone control.

Trading pattern

Poke with Q and E while respecting Viktor W placement; avoid engaging when Viktor W is active and threatening.
Capitalize on Viktor's inability to trade if he wastes abilities on waveclear by stepping forward with Q poke.
Save W to knock Viktor away if he tries to close distance after his Viktor W cooldown expires.

Danger windows

Ziggs is vulnerable when W is on cooldown, as he loses his main disengage and turret execute tool.
Avoid extended trades when Viktor's Viktor W is active, as the delayed stun and slow can set up lethal follow-ups.
Be wary of ganks or dives when your W is down, as escape options are limited.

Early game

Use Q and E to poke Viktor from max range and prevent him from safely using Viktor E for poke.
Avoid standing near Viktor W zones to reduce risk of getting stunned or slowed.
Preserve W as a disengage tool to escape Viktor's all-in attempts or follow-up after Viktor W.

Power spikes

Ziggs major spikes: level 6 R for long-range burst and first completed mage poke item.
Respect Viktor's major spikes: level 6 Viktor R and his first completed item with evolved abilities.
Ziggs must be cautious when Viktor evolves E and Q for improved poke and shield utility.

Win conditions

Use superior waveclear and poke to keep Viktor low and deny him safe farming and item progression.
Pressure Viktor's turret with W execute to force him to respond or lose plates.
Punish Viktor's poor Viktor W placement and ability usage on waveclear by stepping forward for poke and turret damage.
